Saxo Bank adds stock options to White Label offering

Saxo Bank, the online multi-asset trading and investment specialist, today announces the expansion of its white label offering with the introduction of stock options from April 2015. This follows the launch of stock options trading for Saxo’s private and institutional clients in 2014.

The introduction of stock options to Saxo’s white label offering will enable white label end clients to benefit from trading multiple asset classes from a single consolidated account and being able to use either stocks or bonds as collateral, as well as exercising options online. Other advantages include the ability to utilise cross product margining by putting up stocks as margin collateral for contract options trading, in addition to no minimum fee or carrying costs.

White label clients will also benefit from a complete marketing and communication package facilitating the launch of the new product to end clients.

The addition of stock options to the white label offering is further testament to Saxo Bank's strategy of continuing to build a truly multi-asset trading platform. At present there are more than 30,000 financial products including FX (spot, forwards and options), stocks, CFDs, commodities, futures, contract options and single stock options available on Saxo’s trading platform.

Commenting on the announcement, Patrice Henault, Head of Futures and Listed Options, Saxo Bank said:

“The launch reflects the growing appetite for stock options among both institutional and retail investors as indicated by the 4% rise in the number of derivatives traded on-exchange (ETDs) in 2014. In particular, recent market volatility has provided attractive investment opportunities for options traders, while investors are becoming more aware of how they can hedge their exposure in asset classes such as equities or as a means of locking-in existing gains.

“At Saxo, we are consistently striving to provide a platform that is streamlined, efficient and which provides the tools and functionality to give our clients a competitive edge in the multi-asset arena. The addition of equity options to our white label platform marks an important step in the development of Saxo's white label proposition, particularly at a time when appetite for this particular instrument is on the rise.”

White label business have become a cornerstone of Saxo Bank’s institutional business with over ten new partnerships established in 2014, bringing the number of clients in this space to over 120, including ten banks with cross-border activities. Pressures on costs, the inability to keep up with the pace of evolution in trading technology in-house and the need to develop multi-asset trading capabilities for their clients has contributed to the increase in Saxo Bank's white label clients.
